Background
The titanium alloy materials are mainly used in the prior market, but the titanium alloy cannot be degraded after being implanted into a human body, and needs to be remained in the human body for a long time. With the increasing demands of people for quality of life, screws implanted in the body are often required to be removed, thereby bringing the risk of repeated infection and enlarged facial lesions. The subsequent polylactic acid material has weaker strength and strict requirements on the applicable parts. The magnesium alloy material has been used to some extent in the field of bone screws based on its degradable property.
The craniomaxillofacial bone screw is mainly used for internal fixation of craniomaxillofacial fracture. In order to meet the requirements of patients on facial beauty, the craniomaxillofacial bone screw needs to be designed in a miniaturized way. The traditional screw adopts the cross pin head to transmit torque so as to realize the screw screwing, but the clamping and the orientation can not be better carried out when the craniomaxillofacial screw is implanted, if the screw drops carelessly, the screw can be difficult to find under the operation environment, and the operation efficiency is affected.

Detailed Description
The technical means adopted by the utility model to achieve the preset aim are further described below by matching with the drawings and the preferred embodiments of the utility model.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the degradable self-breaking craniomaxillofacial bone screw provided by the utility model is integrally formed by adopting a magnesium alloy material and comprises a screw body 1, a self-breaking part 2 and a holding part 3; the nail body 1 is connected with the holding part 3 through the self-breaking part 2.
The outside of the nail body 1 is provided with a full thread, and the tail part is provided with a nail cap 11; the middle part of the nut 11 is formed with a groove structure inwards. Wherein, the groove structure preferably adopts an arc-shaped groove, and the bottom is of a plane structure and is connected with the self-breaking part 2. The design surface of the arc-shaped groove is smooth and transits, and no stress concentration part is generated, so that the screw has a stable structure. Preferably, the arcuate groove structure has a minimum diameter of < 2mm, and the transition is made with an arcuate shape to provide sufficient torque to facilitate breakage after implantation is complete.
The self-breaking part 2 is connected with the bottom of the groove structure of the nail body 1, and is connected with the head of the holding part 3 in a tapered shape from the connecting part. The tapered self-breaking portion 2 may be tapered with an arc surface or a straight inclined surface, so that the narrowest tapered portion is used as a connection position of the self-breaking portion 2. For example, the self-breaking portion 2 is shown as tapered in a cambered surface to allow smooth transition of the surface. The height of the self-breaking part 2 is required to be lower than the edge of the nut 11 of the nail body 1. For example, alternatively, the distance from the break 2 below the nut 11 of the shank 1 is 0.3mm. The utility model can ensure that the broken part can be hidden in the nail cap 11 by setting the self-breaking part 2 lower than the nail cap 11, wherein the broken surface of the self-breaking part 2 can not contact with surrounding soft tissues, and the soft tissues can not be scraped to cause secondary injury to a patient.
The grip portion 3 has a columnar structure including a main body 31, a head portion 32 and a tail portion 33. The head 32 is tapered and connected with the self-breaking portion 2, and the tail 33 may have an arc structure, so as to avoid the risk of scratching during use. Since the shank 1 of the craniomaxillofacial bone screw is small, the length of the grip 3 is preferably greater than the length of the shank 1 in order to enable the grip 3 to provide sufficient torque. For example, alternatively, the main body of the holding part 3 adopts a triangular prism structure, the diameter of the outer circle of the triangular prism is slightly larger than that of the nail body 1, and the length is designed to be 80mm, so that a good holding force can be provided for doctors.
When the bone screw is used, a doctor can hold the holding part 3 of the bone screw by hand, and the position of the screw body 1 can be screwed into the craniofacial or maxillofacial region by rotating the holding part 3. Because the head position of the holding part 3 and the self-breaking part 2 are tapered, a doctor can break the screw at the connecting part of the holding part 3 and the self-breaking part 2, namely the thinnest part, through stress without auxiliary operation of an external tool. And then gelatin can be smeared on the broken part, and the gelatin is in a liquid state before use, can be conveniently smeared on the residual end of the self-breaking part 2 and is used for covering the broken surface so as to prevent the situation that the nail body 1 is degraded too quickly and absorbed due to the broken surface of the part.
Based on the above, the magnesium alloy material adopted by the craniomaxillofacial bone screw can realize holding force for 3-6 months after being implanted into a human body, effectively provides the fixing effect of the bone healing stage, can be completely degraded in the human body, does not need to be taken out by secondary operation, and reduces the burden of a patient. In addition, the junction of the self-breaking part 2 and the holding part 3 is the thinnest position, and the self-breaking can be completed without the assistance of other tools, so that the problems of infection and screw loss and difficult searching caused by the matching of the self-breaking part and the other tools are avoided.
